Reviews mention

  • Buttery leather craftsmanship
  • Minimalist, timeless aesthetics
  • Chic, functional organization
  • Long‑lasting everyday durability
  • Peeling interior linings
  • Bulky, heavy bag organizers
  • Too‑short shoulder straps
  • Inconsistent color accuracy

Cuyana earns strong reviews for exceptionally durable, soft leather and minimalist, polished designs that function for work and travel, with standouts like the System Tote, Classic Zipper Tote, travel cosmetic cases, and alpaca pieces proving long‑wearing and chic. Reviews also flag weaknesses—interior linings that can peel, organizers adding weight and bulk, occasional strap length and structure issues, color variance, and a few reports of product wear and broken hardware—making the brand compelling for quality leather essentials but with durability and design caveats to consider.

  • High quality leather goods. I have had their products for years and they stand the test of time, both from a quality and style perspective. Their makeup bags are a great gift. Their clothes are a little pricey but in my experience well worth it - the cashmere has held up well over time.

  • I bought the sling bag in Cappuccino when they were having a sale and immediately fell in love. It is the perfect travel bag. It is light weight, easy to clean, and has a zip top. The neutral colors make it very versatile.

  • I received 2 toiletry bags as a gift a few years ago and I LOVE them. They make me feel put together and elevated and they have held up well on tons of trips. They wipe down very nicely. I like that you can monogram them too.

  • I've never purchased their clothing but I have purchased many of their leather goods. I've had the work tote with the snap in laptop pouch and its held up extremely well - no stains or noticeable wear. Same goes for the leather travel pouches. Its expensive but holds up and I always get a few compliments when I have to bring my workbag out after the day.

  • This is my new favorite brand when it comes to quality leather purses, wallets, and bags. I have upgraded my work/travel laptop purse to their "system" tote which is amazing, tons of storage, beautiful color and texture, and have now purchased a crossbody bag, wristlet/clutch, and weekender bag. Everything comes in such elegant, timeless colors and styles, and they all go together very nicely without being too matching. Obviously price is a consideration, but these pieces are well worth investment.

  • I bought my mom one of the System Totes for work and she loves it! It is such good quality leather and looks very sleek and put together. I'll definitely buying one soon for myself too.

  • Great customer service and shopping experience. Love the silk basics which really hold up over time.

  • I've had a Cuyana leather tote bag since 2015 (!) and it is still in great shape. I have used it almost daily since then as a carryall. I love the ethos of the brand (fewer, better things) and their focus on high quality items at more affordable price points.

  • I use the large zip tote for my work bag and it looks so chic. I got it personalized which is a nice touch. It fits my laptop and about 1 million other things. I also got the travel cosmetic cases in the most beautiful pink color, also monogrammed. Everything is of great quality.

  • I purchased a weekender bag from Cuyana back in 2012. I think right around the brand's conception. I still use it to this day. Since then I've purchased a lot of their smaller leather goods and have had such a wonderful experience every time. I do think that the linings of their products tend to wear pretty quickly, but I am willing to admit that I am rough on my products and that could be from my own level of wear and tear. The tote bag I purchased 2-3 years ago - I wish the shoulder strap was just slightly longer. It's not quite long enough to throw over my shoulder on the go. Other than that, amazing quality and have loved to see this brand expand in the past 10 years!

  • Purchased their tote and insert for my wife who uses it daily. This bag how shown very little wear despite the beating it has taken. She loves it.

  • I have the most gorgeous tote that I've used as a work bag for years. It has traveled in and out of NYC and has held up beautifully.

  • Their leather goods are high quality, though their color options can be limiting if you don't want something "girly" or black. Also, the colors can vary greatly from what you see online and what you receive.

    Definitely a brand to consider when you're looking for leather goods. My experience with their clothing has been good, but limited.

  • Super high quality leather. Love that there aren't logos everywhere. Really adore the modern-classic aesthetic.

  • I have 2 of their products, one a zippered purse, the other the "tech set". While I don't use my tech set for tech, it does make a great in-purse organizer, desk stash of medications, etc.

    I'd love to see a bit of an accordion pleat on some of the top zip bags like the camera or circle bags. I've scraped my hand trying to get into those rigidly zipped things before and it's so frustrating!

  • Have bought so many things from here for myself and friends. Really great quality and the items are lovely.

  • Super high quality, beautiful items, designed to last. I’ve got sweaters, a tote, and a makeup bag - I love them all and they are superb quality essentials.

  • Cuyana makes great bags and small leather goods! The attention to detail is impeccable, and I love the gold letterpress monogramming.

  • I bought the Classic Leather Zipper Tote to use as a work bag, and I love it! The straps are a good length to wear over the shoulder, and the bag itself is plenty large enough for everything I need. I do wish that the bag inserts they sell came in more colors to match the color ways of the actual bags.
